Abstract
|
Palaeography, a science that, in its practical
aspect, is devoted to the teaching of reading
ancient manuscripts, regardless of their
language, has traditionally been associated
with the courses of History and Archival
Sciences, confined to academic banks, and
seen as auxiliary science. It is within the scope
of the crowdsourcing projects of documentary
transcriptions that we see arise manuals and
courses of online palaeography. The present
work seeks to identify the online formative
offer of medieval and modern palaeography
courses, namely those promoted by the
Portuguese, Spanish, English and French
local and regional archives associated with
these projects. It is intended to understand how the reading palaeography is developed
by the archives, to understand which norms
are used, who makes transcription manuals, to
which interests group are they directed, which
typologies are more available, periodicity
of the courses / provision of the images
for transcriptions, and, finally, realize what
happens to the transcripts. It concludes with an
analysis of the contribution of these projects
to the development of reading palaeography,
and, more generally, to the history of graphic
culture.
